• 2 Stroke Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Italy - About 1989 to 2014
     WR = 2st Enduro & CR = 2st Cross

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

All 2st Please post pictures of your 2 stroke bikes.

Those Gasgas' are the only bikes I think look as good as a Husky.
 
G'day Guy's,

New to the forum so first post in what should be the first I guess with a pic of the bike. I have been bikeless (dirt) for 8 years and my first 2 stroke in 35 years! First squirt and felt right at home. Amazing what the mind and body (more so mind) can retain after all those years.

WR250 2001. $1500 Lacked a little attention in the later years obviously but generally mechanically good. Bar risers/protapers, DEP pipe. Jetting/float was way off but getting pretty close now. Plug range wrong, muffler needed a good packing, wheel bearings, chain guide. Wiring/lighting next as the only thing left apart from the headlight (Polisport) is the loom.

that is nice, was it like that when you bought it?
 
Welcome to the best Husqvarna site on the web. Lots of information & helpful Husky enthusiast on this site....even some Husky specialty venders. Your bike looks great. From what I've read thats a desirable year & model. (but then again all huskies are)

Best Husky site for sure and yes the quality and quantity of the info is brilliant. "desirable year & model" Well after my first ride I wasn't surprised by what I have read previously. I'm having evel thoughts though! A 2007 up with a 360/6speed would be nice!

Thanks mate, it's been home two weeks and I'm having a blast. The last bike was an 05 525 and I must say I'm impressed. The bike is tight for it's age. My brother works for a bike dealership south of Melbourne and delivered a 310 to a customer who had this bike sitting there so he offered him $1500. Well I bought a bike unbeknown to me.

I need to ease up tho as I wont bounce as easily as I used to! :) I will be going for a squirt tomorrow (Sat) so i'll get some Nth East Victoria bush pics. :cheers:

south of Melbourne is some nice terrain, did a little looking in the area a while back
yes slowing down is wise
people ask me when we go riding and i am holding back "can't you ride faster?", my answer "yes, i can ride faster, but i can't fall faster"

thats a fairly silly question considering some of your machines

While he lives down south I live in the north east of Victoria in a historic gold mining town. The varied riding around here is brilliant as is the scenery. If I can get out this arvo i'll get some pics in keeping with the thread.

Hi all, just made a deal on my first Husky. It's a '12 WR300, like new, been on 4 rides and owned since new by a 40+ Dad. He says he has an '08 orange 200XC and thought he wanted to go faster to keep up with his boy. He added a Rekluse EXP and rad guards, then decided the 200XC was fast enough ;) I pick it up Monday evening and I can't wait to ride it. Haven't ridden 2t much in quite awhile.
